The Places and Time.

The First groweth upon Mountains and in Woods usually, yea there be divers Woods in England, which have few Trees in them but Chesnut Trees, one whereof is within a mile and a half of Feversham in Kent, yet these that grow in the warmer Countreys produce greater Nuts; the Second groweth na∣turally in Turk••, and is entertained in divers of our Gardens, that pretend to rarities, and indeed i•• is a stately Plant; the Third groweth upon Pilates hill, which is not farre from Lyons in France; the two last in the West Indies: the Catkins shew themselves in March, the Leaves in April, and immediately after the Flowers, but the Fruit is not ripe untill the Autumn.
